Education Abroad
Become a Global Husky!
Explore the World. Earn Credit. Build Your Future.
Your college experience doesn't have to be confined to one campus. Through Education Abroad at St. Cloud State University, you can study, intern, research, and explore cultures around the world while earning credit toward your degree.
Whether you're interested in spending a semester overseas, participating in a faculty-led program, completing an internship abroad, or studying away within the United States, there's an opportunity to fit your academic, personal, and career goals.
Why Study Abroad?
- Experience new cultures firsthand
- Earn credits toward your degree
- Build skills employers value, including adaptability, communication, and problem-solving
- Expand your global network and make lifelong connections
- Gain confidence, independence, and a new perspective on the world
- Enhance your resume and stand out after graduation
With more than 30 education abroad opportunities available, your next classroom could be a beach in Australia, a city in Southeast Asia, a university in Europe, or a community making a difference halfway around the world.
Studying Abroad Is More Affordable Than You Think
Many students assume that studying abroad is a luxury or something that is financially out of reach. In reality, studying abroad can be just as affordable as spending a semester on campus at St. Cloud State University.
For many semester-long programs, students continue to pay tuition and may find that housing, meals, and everyday living expenses are comparable to, or even less than, those in the United States.
Financial aid and scholarships can help make studying abroad possible. Many forms of federal, state, and institutional financial aid can be applied to eligible education abroad programs, and SCSU students have access to study abroad scholarship opportunities to help offset costs.
Don't Let Cost Stop You
- Financial aid may be available for your program
- Study abroad scholarships can help reduce expenses
- Many semester programs cost about the same as a semester at SCSU
- Early planning can help you maximize funding opportunities
Studying abroad isn't just an investment in travel. It's an investment in your education, career, and future. Our team is here to help you explore funding options and find a program that fits both your academic goals and your budget.
